Today I installed the update to FF 67 on my machine. Until now, once I clicked a link to a web page sent to me via E-Mail (I am using Thunderbird for mail), FF nicely opened that link in a new tab. But since the update to FF 67, clicking in a Thunderbird mail web link will not only open the link in a new FF window instead of a tab but, to make things worse, this new window will miss all the addons and plugins which my FF used to provide. This means, links from e-mails will open in a new FF window with no plugins available. Also missing are all other customizations such as bookmarks. The new window opened by clicking web links in e-mails seems to run on an empty profile.

I used to like how FF handles Thunderbird 's e-mail links but this new behaviour makes FF almost useless to me. I am seriously thinking about downgrading to a previous version. Unfortunately, TB 67 installed even without leaving a system restore point...

On Firefox 60/62, I am seeing a mismatch of images being used for icons shown on the tabs and those shown for saved bookmarks. So far, I am only seeing this on the MDL forums here https://forums.mydigitallife.net . I am testing this with the portable version of FF. Does anyone know what might be causing this?

FF should be using the same image seen on the tabs which reflects the favicon.ico. I don't understand why FF is using a different image for the saved bookmarks. See http://i66.tinypic.com/1fvlab.jpg If I delete the incorrect image from the favicon.sqlite db the saved bookmark icons revert back to the favicon image and there is no longer a mismatch. As soon as I select the reverted bookmark to view that web page, it gets refreshed with the other image which ends up back in the favicon.sqlite again. Why is FF picking up a different image for the bookmarks?

I would appreciate it if someone could try the portable and save some bookmarks from MDL to see if you get the same results as me.

I am currently running Firefox Portable version 60 with lots of extensions and customized toolbars and I would like to migrate to a 64 bit installed version without losing my bookmarks, history, extensions, configurations, etc. Can I simply install Firefox 60 and copy my Firefox Portable profile folder or is there another process? Is it even possible to migrate from a portable version without losing anything?
